Fighting Till Forever

Chapter 6

What the heck am I going to say! Is this want people mean by being speechless? Fang, proposing to me, why? I mean I love him, but should I say yes? Should I say no? I'm not that old. We are still so young. I finally make the decision, "Yes, yes I will marry you shaggy." I say jokingly.
He puts the ring on my finger. I hear a squee and Nudge is running out of the bush taking pictures and screaming. I'm overwhelmed with everything. How does this work out. Then I ask on the way home why he wanted to propose, why he did it when we are so young. His response made me almost cry, almost. I don't cry often. "I can't lose you. This war might separate us, we might not see each other for a long time. But I want you to know that I made a promise. That I will be back, we will get married and we will go off somewhere and have a nice life. No more fighting, no more running, just you and me on a mountain side. Heck I don't care, you can pick where we live." He says.
That made me think, "I know we are moving fast here, but if you don't want to lose me, and I don't want to lose you, before this war gets out of hand. Why don't we get married before all the craziness?" I ask.
He smiles, that special Fang smile and says
"Alright, whenever you want." And then we pull into the schools driveway.
"Next month. Promise?" I say.
"Promise." He says.
We walk into the school and go tell the news. Angel and the rest of the Flock scream, Jean and Storm surround me asking questions about the wedding, what will be happening, the professor tells us he's happy for us, and the rest of the students don't really care. "Let's get things clear. I am not going to wear a a big poofy girly dress, not a chance." I say to Fang.
"I know, that's why I'm not going to wear some fancy tux."
We go off to get changed and I fall asleep, uninterrupted.

"First mission as a full Xmen, I'm so excited!" I say to Logan when we are downstairs the next morning eating breakfast. "Calm down kid, you look like your going to faint."
"Sorry." I say sitting down.
"Where did the professor tell you that you are going?" He asks.
"Russia. We have intelligence that I found that says that the Founders have a secret base there, not so secret anymore." I say smirking.
"Russia? Who else is going?" Logan asks.
"Jean and myself. It's a recon mission." I say.
"Be careful kid."
"Thanks Logan." I say. Then I walk out and go to meet Jean. We can't take the jet because, well it's destroyed. So we are stuck takin a plane from Laguardia to Domodedovo International Airport. I hope Jean brushed up on her Russian or we're screwed.

Jean pov
We arrive at DIA at 6PM, my Russian not that accurate. "Did I say that right?" I ask Angel.
"I don't know, I just started learning it on the plane! Rosetta Stone can only teach so fast." She says.
We get to the hotel and map out our plan. This should only take a few days. I hope that everything goes to plan. "Go to sleep Angel it's getting late. You need the rest." I say.
"You look more worn out than me." She says back. So that settled it, we both ended up going to bed.
Next morning...
I wake up with a jolt. A nightmare. I get up and try to shake it off. Nothing bad is going to happen Jean, nothing is going to happen. Angel is sleeping. She is safe. We get up and leave the hotel by 8. I am the one that has to flag down a taxi. "Tакси!" I yell. The only word here I know well. We get in and I tell the driver to take us to the nearest train station. There we catch a train to Orsk. A large town in Orenburg Oblast, Russia. Once we get there we hike to the Ural Mountains where the base is supposed to be. "Can we take a break? I can't feel my legs. Are they suppose to feel like jello? I don't think it's normal." Angel asks me.
"Sure lets stop a bench up here. It's a good idea that we took the visitors route and all we have to do is cut off at the top and go in the back entrance." I say.
"How are you still walking and feeling fine? We've been walking for 5 hours." Angel asks.
"Mission simulations by Logan can do you wonders. Especially the mountain climbing one that he makes you do for 10 hours. No breaks. The first time I did it I thought I was gonna die. Now I've done it two other times and it's a piece of cake." I say.
Angel looks terrified that Logan might do that to her. "Don't worry, he won't make you do it till your way older. It's onto required for you to teach." I say. We continue up the mountain and reach the base by 12PM. "You get the left I get the right." I say nodding my head and pointing my finger over to the left so angel knew where to go. To be honest that when everything went wrong.
